Call for applications – stipend for attendence at Carta Gradute Workshop 2016, a one-week workshop to be held inNairobi, Kenya from Monday September 26, until Friday September 30, 2016.
The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) is a south-south partner composed of nine universities and four research institutes. CARTA works with six northern partner institutions. Since 2008, CARTA has established itself as a viable platform to build an African academy poised to lead world-class, multidisciplinary research to improve public and population health. CARTA has a mutually-reinforcing two-pronged strategy to develop individual research capacity and leadership while concurrently transforming institutional research cultures and organisational systems within which these individuals operate. This approach creates the much-needed conducive environments to retain active researchers at African universities who, themselves, can support further capacity development for research and lead institutional change.
